You have heard about it and the idea impresses you, but is the new line of boots from Black Diamond, and the “hard charging” Factor in particular, all it is cracked up to be? After putting these boots through a gamut of conditions across the world, I think it is pretty fair to declare the Factor a revolution in alpine skiing. Not back country skiing, but alpine. You heard me.

The name says it all. The Mad Max glove from Black Diamond is burly, arrogant and walks the walk. While this glove can handle whips and chains, it is best utilized dishing out that kind of treatment day in day out. Check out the comfiest and blurliest glove out there.

The new Typhoon freeride boot from Scarpa fills the gap between front country and backcountry. With a 110 Flex, it is built for skiing down the fall line, but the integrated walk mode will get up and away from the masses for some fresh turns all to yourself.
